I wonder if it is tesla .

and there are alien bodies stored in area 51.

aliens built the pyramids.

the moon is not made of cheese.

smoking cures cancer.

Toshiba.

I wonder if it needs a 3 phase charger like Teslas do.

Battery technology is developing at a fierce rate. The current Tesla model S can already charge to 50% in 20 minutes and 100% in 75 minutes using a Tesla supercharger. That gives about a 250 mile maximum range at 100% charge.

might be the future when the price comes down.

a bit like computers. in the early 80's a commodore 64 ( that's 64k ram) was 2 week's wages. now a pc with 5 gig. ram costs less than a night out on the beer.

Exactly

I was a bit sceptical of battery cars a few years back, but I'm now convinced they will be the majority of private vehicles in 20 years time.

We've seen what small mobile phone batteries can do when they explode, I'd hate to have my grandkids in a car with an even larger bomb underneath it.

Hence part of the reason for my preference to Diesel.

I think the vid says 300mile range charge in 5mins. And since it takes "a certain amount" of energy to move a car 300miles, I'm going to assume the new 300mile battery stores "a certain amount" being 50kWh. Does that seem fair? If we had 10 hours to charge it would be at 5kW or about 21A continuously. So a 6mm cable and 32A mcb would do that job, and some. But if you wanted to charge this 50kWh battery in 5 minutes, that'd be a mild mannered 2,500A !!!

I'm happy to hear if I've misunderstood

Some of the battery,or more accurately,power storage,is fantastic,and the drive systems are space-age...it is making these technologies affordable,which is the tricky part.
Making their production and de-commissioning,energy efficient and pollution-free,is where the most vocal proponents of these schemes,go all silent.

I remain,and have always been,interested and enthusiastic,in all forms of sustainability,in energy,food and human resources,but...take a common wind turbine...

It's energy output,over it's lifetime,is a statement of fact.We have built them for 50 years.

The cost and energy expenditure,in the production of the concrete,copper,steel,magnets,etc in the construction,maintenance,transport and infrastructure. Not forgetting,the pollution expended during every stage of those tasks,is another fact.

Those who laud one,whilst belittling the other,will never command either my respect,or attention.

This is the reason that many,many salesfolk,have endeavoured to sign me up,to their various nefarious,PV panel contracts,and realised the dead horse,they were flogging

One animated and exuberant fellow,got nearly to the end of his pitch,and said i could not say no,as the price of these panels were so low,due to Chinese expertise,i asked if they were made in main-land China,he nodded,i asked him what new fuel,the power stations over there,were using to power such expansion,and he replied ..."Oh,s**t..i never thought of that..."
